The ruins of the city are tempting - there’s shadows and darkness around and it would take her only an instant to disappear into one and not let anyone know she’s here. Things were simpler then, when she could do that. There was just her and what she had to get done - people to threaten, people to run through with her sword, people to shoot. It had been good. But this was supposed to be better, she thought, reaching up to brush her autobrand.

It takes longer than Arcee wants to admit to reorient herself - one moment on Earth with her sword clutched in her hand, attempting to defend a human from Galvatron and the Decepticons, and now this. This false Cybertron she doesn’t know anything about and has no interest in learning. She isn’t a scientist, it’s not her job. Sliding her swords away, Arcee succumbs to the urge to at least get away from this all - there’s a taller building still standing. It’s with little effort that Arcee scales the thing until she’s roughly five stories up - a blot of pink and white against a sea of crumbling grey as she simply hangs onto the wall, back resting on the metal as her hands dig grooves into it. Sure, she has Sideswipe’s jetpack, but Arcee knows she won’t lose her grip.

It’s not a bad view, and gives her a vague estimation of activity in the area. White and red mechs concentrated at one point - medical. A few colorful bots - autobots, most likely, with a few larger hulking frames she doesn’t recognize. Decepticons. Her lips curl into a snarl automatically, hatred flooding through her system. Who will blink first is a contest Arcee is willing to participate in because it won’t be her, and she’ll tear them apart. Prowl’s pseudo abandonment, leaving her to handle herself and the human isn’t something she takes personally, but it still rankles - she will get him for that.

She hasn’t shut off her personal comm if anyone on Optimus’s team spots her, but it’s not hard to get her attention if anyone needs or wants to talk to her. As if she’s particularly talkative on a regular basis.
